If you want to proceed with NVQ Level 3 with Venetian Plastering we can do this for you.The Term "MARMORINO" is it's ordinary and natural meaning. - Marmorino Veneziano is a plaster or stucco decoration used on Ceilings, Walls and Floors - Therefore each finish has a proper name made up of different Micron sizes of Marble powders. The name of the product will tell you on the tub, clearly displaying it's true and original name.

Please visit us, so we can show you our work and we do employ people that we have trained:

Question: Does your course provider offer you Dvd's and loads of meterage and full support forever? We do your trainer is in themQuestion: If you can smell a strong odour the chances are that it has a binding agent in, which also creates delam and most importantly indicates that the products have been played around with and are not genuine? Ours are Authentic and Guaranteed

Polished Plaster is another name for Venetian plaster (Italian: Stucco Veneziano). At Goldtrowel it's the quality of the material (Coverit.it) Venezia Stucco and the experience and the knowledge of the applicator.

My goal is to provide our students who train with us the best of both.

We are not a Paint Workshop? We are Experienced Specialist Applicators / Instructors delivering High End Range Training for you to carry out proper meterages.

What is Polished Plaster , Stucco Plaster?

Polished Plaster is a smooth shiny plaster made from Lime putty and Carrara marble powders. It is a natural Lime based plaster that requires a specialist application.

Where does Polished Plaster, Stucco come from?

The Polished Plaster that Goldtrowel supplies comes from Venezia Stucco Italiano in Italy. This is now a global brand supplying Polished Finishes to homes and businesses all over the world.

Why are there different terms for Polished Plasters?

Many refer to it as Marmorino, Venetian Plaster, Stucco, Lucidato, Spatulata, Veneziano plus others. These terms can mean the same style of product or something very different depending on how companies brand their product. Always request a sample to ensure you know which Polished Plaster you are getting.

What do Polished Plasters look like?

The finest Polished Plaster ( Classic Marmorino ) is very smooth and cold to the touch. It has a reflective sheen.

The textures vary greatly depending on the product and style you require. Our Carrara Marmorino has a matt like shine while the Intonachino and Dilavato have textured surfaces. The Chamois / Velvet Marmorino is truly unique with a gentle soft sheen while being very fine in texture.

What colours can you provide?

We have a standard colour range and can custom colour the products.

Where can I use Polished Plasters?

Polished Plaster works well in both domestic and commercial settings. In domestic setting we use our finishes on feature walls, bathrooms and kitchens. In commercial projects we use them in boardrooms, reception areas, restaurants, bars and hotels.

Can we create something unique?

Yes, we specialise in working with customers to create bespoke finishes. We can even use stencils to imprint designs into or raised out on the surface of the finishes. Please contact us with your ideas as we love a challenge.

Can you apply Polished Plaster to my Ceilings Walls and Bathrooms?

We can apply the Venetian Marble Polished Plaster, Stucco on most Bathrooms, Walls and Ceilings. However, all traces of wall paper need to be removed.

How long will Polished Plaster Last?

In Italy there are many examples of Marmorino on the exterior of the buildings. Therefore in modern buildings if the substrate is suitable the finish should out live the applicator.
